Offering a meeting point for like minded people, Moovin is a perfect midpoint between large and small festivals, able to offer phenomenal acts in large numbers whilst also remaining intimate and welcoming to the appreciated guests. Seeking to leave all attendees with a wide smile on their face when they eventually depart, Moovin enjoys an atmosphere as warm as you can get in South Manchester, and this year has plenty of musical talent to look forward to thanks to Roy Ayers, Roni Sizeand Gilles Peterson, to name but a few. Sonar Kollektiv bosses Jazzanova, rock group Black Grape and Guyanese dub specialist Mad Professor are other names to stand out from a unique lineup, and Moovin’s organisers have also kept their hometown in mind, inviting some of the defining selectors of the Madchester days in Mike Pickering, Graeme Park and Greg Wilson.
